Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic created a situation for the implementation of emergency remote learning. This meant that as a lecturer at a traditionalist University of contact sessions, the pandemic forced us to teach remotely through online methods of communication, using online lectures, narrated powerpoints, voice clips, podcasts, interviews and interactive videos. The assessments were conducted online from assignments to multiple choice questions, which forced the lecturers to think differently about the way the assessments were presented, in order to avoid easy access to answers found in a textbook and online. This meant that more application questions of theory to practice were assessed in a more challenging way to prevent cheating and collaboration with peers. Formal assessments completed during emergency remote learning, have become the past practice, as innovative methods have been adopted for learning and for assessment purposes in order to preserve the integrity and attainment of the degree through online modes of learning. The aim of the paper investigates and explores the methods of teaching, together with the results obtained from the students of 2019 and 2020 in their final year relating to two final year modules against the literature relating to learning processes and methodologies.

从南非的角度看大流行期间的紧急远程学习
2019冠状病毒病大流行为实施紧急远程学习创造了条件。这意味着,作为传统大学接触课程的讲师,疫情迫使我们通过在线交流方法远程授课,使用在线讲座、讲解幻灯片、语音片段、播客、访谈和互动视频。这些评估从作业到选择题都是在线进行的,这迫使讲师们对评估的呈现方式进行不同的思考,以避免在教科书和网络上轻易找到答案。这意味着更多的理论应用问题将以更具挑战性的方式进行评估,以防止作弊和与同龄人合作。在紧急远程学习期间完成的正式评估已成为过去的做法,因为为学习和评估目的采用了创新方法,以便通过在线学习模式保持学位的完整性和取得学位。本文的目的是调查和探讨教学方法,以及2019年和2020年学生在最后一年获得的与两个最后一年模块相关的结果,以及与学习过程和方法相关的文献。
